TRIP DETAILS:
Half Day (4 hours) or Full day (7 hours)
Let us take you and a friend to a place we know you can catch a fish.
We have the gear. We have the access, the permits, the training, the experience.
We will cover lunch for full day trips and beverages / snack for half day trips. In either case, we'll make sure everyone has the kind of positive fishing experience they were expecting.
Trips include all the gear and are conducted as a personal lesson. We'll either teach you the basics, or augment your skills and refine specific issues.
We can also use your own gear and set it up correctly for you. The idea is to get you going in this sport.
